Question

Each sentence below is divided into four parts. Find the part that has a grammatical error. If there is no error, mark the No error option.

Although China is at present far ahead of India in terms of economic progress, it's education system is seriously flawed.

• A. Although China is at present
• B. far ahead of India
• C. in terms of economic progress,
• D. it's education system is seriously flawed.

Hint:

Test whether "it's" can be correctly expanded to "it is" in the sentence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Check for confusion between the contraction "it's" and the possessive "its", a common error type.

1. Option 1: "Although China is at present" is grammatically correct.
2. Option 2: "Far ahead of India" is a correct comparative phrase with no error.
3. Option 3: "In terms of economic progress" is a correct prepositional phrase.
4. Option 4: "It's education system is seriously flawed" is wrong because "it's" is the contraction of "it is", while the sentence needs the possessive form "its" to show China's education system. This part has the error.

The correct choice is option 4, since "it's" should be "its" to show possession.
